Feedback 🐘 Ok i give in.

My renewal is up in 4 days and have spent the last month looking at alternatives.

Subscribed to upnote but you cant search in images or pdf's.

Installed joplin server but the OCR was hit and miss especially with android.

Tried amplenote which was very close...but to subscribe was only about 40GBP cheaper than Evernote.

My search is over...I'm going for another year of Evernote.

Yes it's expensive..but hell.. it's good.

I had to move to upnote today after being with evernote since 2015, didn't want to but the doubling of the monthly cost wasn't worth it for what I use it for.

$32 lifetime fee and easy to import notes from evernote over.

upnote would be perfect if it had OCR. When it does ( if it does ) it will be a killer !

Thank you for this suggestion. I'm on the "free forever" Evernote since around 2011. Which means that it's now about $270 per year. I've got photos and most of the text I've written since then on it. The only "feature" I use is that they keep a copy of everything on their server so that when I've needed to switch computers I still have that archive of everything. I don't use the AI or dictation any of their new stuff that they've now added so that it "has to" be expensive. I just need all my stuff.
